According to Dave Stringer: Mantras quiet the mind, and music frees the heart. The intention of kirtan is consciousness-transformative, directing the singers to vanish into the song as drops merge into the ocean.

Zed points out that sacred and spiritual experience of kirtan; one of the oldest sacred music genres of the world which originated in India many centuries ago; uplifts, provides a soothing melody, inspires, brings peace and connectedness, takes one to the state of deep meditation, and is highly accessible.

Based in Los Angeles area of USA, Stringer has produced varied recordings individually and with other celebrated world musicians. His voice appears on numerous soundtracks and his creations are heard in yoga studios throughout the world.
